Description

1982 NABBA Universe: Show – Men and Women

The 1982 NABBA UNIVERSE – AMATEUR & PROFESSIONAL, was held at the huge Wembley Conference Centre, London on 18th September, 1982. The main stars of this event were Eduardo Kawak of Lebanon, Kal Szkalak and John Brown from USA, John Terilli from Australia and Terry Phillips from England.

Possibly the highlight of the contest was the titanic battle between Ed Kawak and Kal Szkalak from USA. Some fans preferred Kal but the judges preferred Kawak. This is some of our only footage on Kal, making the video a rare gem.

In the Women’s International Bikini class the red hot favourite was Jocelyn Pigeonneau who did not let her fans down, defeating the very popular Mary Scott.

John Terilli’s class victory was the first ever Universe victory by an Australian competitor who grew up in Australia. (He was born in Italy and was brought to Australia as a baby.) John later won the NABBA Pro Universe in 1994.

Ed Kawak won the Universe 5 times during his illustrious career and is pictured front cover in his signature pose. This record of 5 titles was later equaled by Eddy Ellwood who won his 5 Universe titles consecutively. Famous American Kal Szkalak was one of the training partners of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the latter stages of his career. Kal similarly had great charisma and was a standout at the Universe with his many fans. It was a pity that Kal did not come back again to claim the title that many said would be his for the taking!  Rod Koontz was another highly rated and very popular star from USA.

Best posing display was undoubtedly the virtuoso performance from American posing legend and Overall Amateur Mr. Universe, JOHN BROWN.

The FULL RESULTS are found below, listing every single competitor.

SPECIAL NOTE:

1. The video was shot by one of GMV’s UK cameramen, and includes the main highlights of the whole event – from Prejudging and Show. Regarding video quality, it was shot with the existing technology of the late 70’s and as such is very average. The picture is watchable and historically extremely important being the only record of this contest. The images are however a bit grainy and ordinary by today’s standards. After all, this was shot well over 30 years ago.

2. Although we have listed the names below of the competitors in our RESULTS section, obviously a number of the competitors are not shown in this video, within the time constraints and limits of VCR recording of that time. We do show all of the top competitors, where possible, for every class.
